AIC questions

...no, I even had two of them left. I took a distanced hit from a PPB, moved the damaged ship to behind the front line, and he never regenerated. The only thing I can think of is that perhaps the display isn't updating properly, but unfortunately that is a difficult hypothesis to test.

There is no difference between AIC and stock SE regarding organic armor. After the hit, OA indeed start regenerating but it is hidden. The act of regeneration happens suddenly at the moment one piece of OA is destroeyd - next turn you will see it is restored. There is no partial regeneration As a consequence, ship with a single piece of OA never see the benefits of OA regeneration

This feature was discussed few times and is still very confusing and counterintuitive but that' how SE works.

I never knew that about organic armor. That makes sense now. I wish it was different!

JLS: perhaps reword to "Can independently generate 10,000 supplies before it must be [restocked/resupplied/some better word]"?

Anyone got any other ideas?

I like it Tim. We will make the change for the next upgrade.

Thanks

New Reference:

Name := Quantum Reactor I
Description := Energy source.
Ability 1 Descr := 10000 fuel between re-supplies.

Name := Quantum Reactor VI
Description := Self-perpetuating energy source. Ships with this reactor will not have to resupply.
Ability 1 Descr := Generates limitless fuel.

to elaborate, the reason I was confused was that I thought a "re-energizing" of the reactor occured every turn. Thus, I thought that the quantum reactor was capped at generating 10k supplies per turn. That's why I was confused
